Demérsa lymphis ímprimens, subvécta cælis írrogans, ut, stirpe una pródita, divérsa répleant loca.

These low obscured, on airy wing Exalted those, that either race, Though from one element they spring, Might serve Thee in a different place.

Largíre cunctis sérvulis, quos mundat unda sánguinis, nescíre lapsus críminum nec ferre mortis tædium,

Grant, Lord, that we Thy servants all, Saved by Thy tide of cleansing Blood, No more ‘neath sin’s dominion fall, Nor fear the thought of death’s dark flood!

Ut culpa nullum déprimat, nullum levet iactántia, elísa mens ne cóncidat, eláta mens ne córruat.

Thy varied love each spirit bless, The humble cheer, the high control; Check in each heart its proud excess, But raise the meek and contrite soul!

Præsta, Pater piíssime, Patríque compar Unice, cum Spíritu Paráclito regnans per omne sǽculum. Amen.

Almighty Father, hear our cry, Through Jesus Christ, our Lord most High, Who, with the Holy Ghost and Thee, Doth live and reign eternally.

Meménto, Dómine, David * et omnis mansuetúdinis eius,

Keep in remembrance, O Lord, David, and all his meekness,

Non introíbo in tabernáculum domus meæ, * non ascéndam in lectum strati mei,

"I will not enter the tent where I dwell, nor will I climb on the bed where I rest;

non dabo somnum óculis meis * et palpebris meis dormitatiónem,

I will not give sleep to my eyes, nor drowsiness to my eyelids,

donec invéniam locum Dómino, * tabernáculum Poténti Iacob.

Ecce audívimus eam esse in Ephratha, * invénimus eam in campis Iaar.

Behold, we heard, that [the ark] is in Ephrata; we found it in the fields of Jaar.

Ingrediámur in tabernáculum eius, * adorémus ad scabéllum pedum eius. -

There I will cause the power of David to sprout; I will prepare a lamp for him whom I have anointed.

Canticum (Ap 11, 17-18; 12, 10 b-12 a)

Canticle (Rev 11:17-18; 12:10 b-12 a)

De iudicio Dei

God's judgment

Grátias ágimus tibi, * Dómine Deus omnípotens,

We thank Thou, Lord, God of the universe,

qui es et qui eras, * quia accepísti virtútem tuam magnam et regnásti.

Thou who are, Thou who were, for Thou tookest hold of Thy great power and reigned.

Et irátæ sunt gentes, * et advénit ira tua, et tempus mortuórum iudicári,

The people were angry, so Thy wrath has come and the time of judgment for the dead,

et réddere mercédem servis tuis prophétis et sanctis * et timéntibus nomen tuum, pusíllis et magnis.

time to reward Thy servants, the saints, the prophets, those who fear Thy name, the small and the great.

Nunc facta est salus et virtus et regnum Dei nostri * et potéstas Christi eius,

Now here is the salvation and the kingdom and the power of our God, this is the power of His Christ,

quia proiéctus est accusátor fratrum nostrórum, * qui accusábat illos ante conspéctum Dei nostri die ac nocte.

for the accuser of our brethren is rejected, who accused them day and night before our God.

Et ipsi vicérunt illum propter sánguinem Agni * et propter verbum testimónii sui;

They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb by the word of which they were witnesses;

et non dilexérunt ánimam suam * usque ad mortem.

renouncing the love of themselves, even unto the point of death.

Proptérea lætámini, cæli * et qui habitátis in eis.

For this reason, wherefore rejoice, O heavens, and thou who dwell in heaven.

Lectio brevis (1 Petr 3, 8-9)

Omnes unánimes, compatiéntes, fraternitátis amatóres, misericórdes, húmiles, non reddéntes malum pro malo vel maledíctum pro maledícto, sed e contrário benedicéntes, quia in hoc vocáti estis, ut benedictiónem hereditáte accipiátis.

And in fine, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, being lovers of the brotherhood, merciful, modest, humble: Not rendering evil for evil, nor railing for railing, but contrariwise, blessing: for unto this are you called, that you may inherit a blessing.
